2022, fishing friends(1/2)

Seeing that Lu Haiyan's state was developing out of control, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei comforted her and began to adjust the pace of questioning in a timely manner based on Lu Haiyan's inner state.

Especially starting from Lu Haiyan's initial lie as a breakthrough point, the truth is being analyzed bit by bit.

At least Gu Chen now knows that the original incident between Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu did not seem to be as Lu Haiyan said.

At least, the relationship between the two is still a mystery.

However, Lu Haiyan's fear is true, Wang Jiayao died inexplicably, and it may be difficult to get involved with Wang Xinyu.

Judging from what Gu Chen found on Reservoir Mountain, Wang Jiayao did indeed die of suicide, but Wang Jiayao's death is still a mystery.

What circumstances made him willing to die? This is the focus of Gu Chen's current investigation.

So Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, after repeated communication with Lu Haiyan, temporarily let Lu Haiyan go back and urged Lu Haiyan to keep her mobile phone switched on 24 hours a day.

Once necessary, Lu Haiyan must cooperate with the investigation as soon as possible.

After completing all the procedures, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei watched Lu Haiyan leave.

Looking at Lu Haiyan's desolate back, the old lady who had been hiding at home and not daring to come out opened the door. She looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei at the opposite door and sighed, feeling helpless.

"Old lady." Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at her. The old lady also walked to Gu Chen and asked him hesitantly:

"Comrade police, did you ask anything?"

"I can't tell you too much about this for now, but there may be variables regarding Wang Jiayao's improper relationship with other women," Gu Chen said.

"Is there a change?" The old lady didn't seem to understand.

Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "That is to say, that thing is not necessarily true."

"Is that so?" After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the old lady suddenly became nervous.

But then Gu Chen quickly asked: "By the way, do you know who Wang Jiayao usually comes into contact with? Just the people he often comes into contact with."

"This... isn't much." The old lady scratched her cheek and said in retrospect:

"Anyway, Wang Jiayao has been feeling quite withdrawn in recent years."

"After his divorce, his children went with his ex-wife, so he stayed at home alone and usually worked at the reservoir."

"You know that place, even if I huddle in the duty room alone, I rarely have contact with others."

"So, on weekdays, when I go out to buy breakfast, I would chat with the neighbors selling breakfast outside."

"Which company is it specifically?" After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei felt that it was at least a breakthrough.

The old lady didn't hide it, she immediately pointed to the left outside the community and said:

"You go out from here and turn left. There is a breakfast shop over there. The business is run by a middle-aged couple from southern Zhejiang. The shop's sign is called 'Ade Breakfast'."

"For example, Wang Jiayao has been his regular customer for many years, and Wang Jiayao has a pretty good relationship with the couple."

"I usually chat with them for a long time when I have breakfast or something. Anyway, I often meet and chat with them. Maybe, these two couples are the people Wang Jiayao has the most contact with."

"Thank you." After receiving the old lady's suggestion, Gu Chen felt the need to seize the time, so he did not hesitate.

After bidding farewell to the old lady, he took Lu Weiwei and immediately arrived at the door of the shop where the old lady called "Ade's Breakfast".

Since it was past the peak breakfast sales period, there were not many customers at the door.

However, the steamers are still placed high in the store, and there are also some scattered soy milk and oil cakes for sale outside.

When they saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei standing at the door, a middle-aged man sitting in the store playing with his mobile phone quickly stood up and walked forward and asked:

"What would you like to order?"

"Boss, are you familiar with Wang Jiayao?" Lu Weiwei took the initiative to step forward and asked.

"Wang Jiayao? I'm an old customer. Of course I'm familiar with you." As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man looked at the police uniforms on Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei. He suddenly became hesitant again and asked quickly:

"No...no, you are asking me these, is there something wrong?"

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei took the initiative and said, "Is it convenient for you to talk here?"

"Uh, how about you come in and talk." Seeing the police coming this time, it didn't seem like they were here to take care of business, but rather like handling a case.

So out of curiosity, the middle-aged man quickly lifted the partition blocking the door and let Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in.

Then, he found two plastic stools, placed them in front of the two of them and said:

"You two should sit down first. Our shop is a small business and the area is not big. It's a bit crowded."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen opened the law enforcement recorder, took out the record book he carried with him, and then asked calmly:

"Wang Jiayao usually buys breakfast at your house, right?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." The middle-aged man was also unambiguous and said whatever he asked.

So Gu Chen asked again: "What about today? Did he come to your store to buy breakfast today?"

"Yes, as long as he works the day shift, he comes to my store to buy breakfast almost every day." The middle-aged man said.

"These days?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"They are all." The middle-aged man affirmed again.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "Has he told you anything strange recently?"

"Strange things? You mean..."

"It's just an abnormal thing." Lu Weiwei reminded.

This stunned the middle-aged man for a moment, and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and start thinking.

After a while, the middle-aged man also recalled: "Wang Jiayao usually talks to me and only gossips about trivial matters."

"You want to say that he talked to me about some strange things, but that's not true. Just this morning, he also told me that he feels physically and mentally exhausted recently and wants to go fishing or something. He also asked me if I was free this afternoon?"

"Fishing?" After hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly became alert and continued to ask:

"Do you usually have the habit of fishing with Wang Jiayao?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded fiercely and quickly explained:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Wang Jiayao and I often have a good relationship together because we often get together to fish."

"Besides making breakfast, I also like fishing, and Wang Jiayao also likes it."

"The most important thing is that Wang Jiayao's workplace is right over the reservoir, and underneath the reservoir, it's a good place for fishing."

"Therefore, I often go fishing at the reservoir where Wang Jiayao is on duty, and the harvest is pretty good every time."

"Under the reservoir? It's under the pier of the Rainbow Bridge, right?" Lu Weiwei has been to the Rainbow Bridge after all, so she is familiar with Wang Jiayao's workplace.

As soon as the middle-aged man said it, Lu Weiwei could guess the location immediately.

The middle-aged man also nodded silently and proactively admitted: "Yes, it is the place you mentioned. We usually fish under the Rainbow Bridge, that is, around the bridge piers."

"Sometimes, I would bring barbecue tools and go to the reservoir where Wang Jiayao was on duty, and cook grilled fish with him."

"Anyway, Wang Jiayao asked me to go fishing with me in the afternoon this morning. After all, this has been arranged before. He just confirmed it with me this morning."

"Wait a minute." After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Gu Chen suddenly felt that something was fishy.

Although when Gu Chen found Wang Jiayao, Wang Jiayao had already hanged himself on the crooked neck tree on Reservoir Mountain.

However, if Wang Jiayao had already chosen to hang himself, why did he have to confirm the fishing time with the breakfast shop owner again?

Doesn't Wang Jiayao know that he is 100% determined to break the appointment?

But considering that both Wang Jiayao and the breakfast shop owner had the habit of fishing, Gu Chen felt that there seemed to be some contradiction in this matter.

Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Lu Weiwei, and at this moment, Lu Weiwei seemed to have the same feeling in her heart.

The two just made eye contact and quickly understood each other's inner OS.

So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man again: "Besides making an appointment for fishing, what else did Wang Jiayao tell you?"

"What are you talking about? This..." The middle-aged man continued to think while trying to scratch his cheek.

Also after a brief pause, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, waving his fingers and explaining:

"Oh, by the way, he also said that he might want to sell the house recently and use the money from the sale to support his future life."

"Selling the house? Wang Jiayao lives in Jiangnan City. Doesn't he just have an apartment? If he sells the house, where will he live in the future?"

When Lu Weiwei thought about this, she felt that Wang Jiayao's idea was too weird.

But the middle-aged man was not surprised and said: "Huh, everyone has different ideas. Wang Jiayao often mentioned this idea to me when he had breakfast at my place."

"He said that the reason why he lived so hard was because he had too little cash."

"Maybe the only valuable thing left is the apartment."

"However, that apartment is a fixed asset after all. He has to work every day. He seems to be thinking of resigning."

"After all, you know that I have worked in the reservoir for many years and it is boring to stay there every day. If it were anyone else, I would have been driven crazy."

"Only Wang Jiayao has the patience to stay here forever, but recently he figured it out."

"He is going to sell the house, and then use the money from selling the house to live the life he wants."

"Then, will he go to another province?" Knowing that Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu seemed to have some elusive connection, Gu Chen raised his own doubts.
